Don't change everything at once. Use this 4-tier system and spend 2 weeks at each level before moving on. Tier 1: Drink 1/2 gallon of water daily 🚰 Start with hydration. It supports training, recovery, energy, and appetite control. Tier 2: Hit a 20% daily protein target 🍗 Protein helps support muscle, recovery, and fullness. Build the habit before worrying about advanced nutrition strategies. Tier 3: Double your fruit and vegetable intake 🥬 More fiber. More vitamins and minerals. More food volume. Tier 4: Count calories — optional ⚖️ Only add this if you need more precision for a specific goal. The point is to stack the highest-leverage habits first. You do not need a perfect diet. You need a few good habits that you can actually keep.
